Very nice. The hilt and Dahon Palay-like blade reminds me of this post on a previous thread: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showpo...0&postcount=13

Full tang through a horn hilt (Luzon) with Barung-ish blade.
The quality eliminates it as being used as a tool. Appears older but not worn daily. May have been commissioned for a city person that used it for travel. A barong like blade is a better weapon for someone that was not well trained.

This one is very nice looking and a bit unique.

Yes I won this one. A bit more than I wanted to spend but it is a real nice piece and prices seem to be going upon these just like the Moro stuff.

Nice! Always glad to hear one of our members grabbing a great piece. These days, prices are all a bit more then we'd like. This piece doesn't seem to be the typical Luzon type we see often..it is extra-ordinary.
